Gaming by guide: Doki Doki Majo Shinpan

(tags game, Dual Screen, gal-get)

I did mention I finished Doki Doki Majo Shinpan (どきどき魔女神判), right? Well it took me 14 hours to get an ending, but it seems it wasn't a good ending. So I started reading the full guide book for the game. This is really complicated. In any case, this is the gaming I am doing right now.

I saw recently the Game Life review "Hands-On: Witch-Touching Game Does Not Have Much Witch-Touching". I agree this game doesn't have much "game". GameLife should have at least gone through the game otaku chapter, though, since there is in-depth ye old SNK passion and "parody". We are talking about Athena and Neo Geo Portable love here. Still it was enjoyable for me to go through it once and I am going through it again.

More progress in Doki Doki Majo Shinpan

I put a total of 6 hours into Doki Doki Majo Shinpan (どきどき魔女神判). The game seems to be divided by chapters. I'm on the fourth chapter chasing a miko who is also allegedly a witch.

Here Renge and Maho (right) are cheering each other on. It's cute.

Pretty much at the end of each chapter is a fight and a shinpan. There's a new technique to the fight so sometimes I need to try something new every time. This is the action part of the game.

The shinpan is the infamous grope and touch section to find a witch's mark. You do that by looking and touching the witch in parts of the body. There's even a lips icon where you have to blow onto the screen (puff some air) while targetting. While you're doing all that, the girl is getting hot and bothered, and says stuff like "pervert" (「ヘンタイ」) or "stop it" (「やめてください」) or "that's my weak spot" (「そこ、弱いの」). Finally, if you are successful with the manhandling, the witch mark will become visible. It can take up to 5 minutes to get it done. All the while I feel like I need to turn down the volume in my own room because its calling me names repeatedly.

Well, I'm slugging through it, not actually excited to play it, since the story is secondary to the gal-get collecting. At least there's not much frustration, only in the fight scenes which are entirely my fault if I fail.
